Blenheim IV vs Maryland

Hi guys

How did these two aircraft compare? The Maryland was slightly longer with slightly greater wingspan, but had more powerful engines. Therefore it was faster but I understand not a great performer above 10,000 feet.

I would appreciate comments, please.

Cheers
Brian

Re: Blenheim IV vs Maryland

As far as I know, Maryland could fly higher than Blenheim or, for example, A-20. One of the ideas behind its design was capability to undertake reconnaissance missions, which required the aircraft to fly faster and higher opposing fighters to avoid interception. Specifications for Maryland, which I could find, somewhat contradictory, but it seems it could reach it's maximum speed at 13,000 feet
